Summary: A thought-provoking book for teachers
Comment: John Janovy Jr. has captured the wonder and passion of following one's bliss. His book is an exploration and illustration of the phrase made famous by Joseph Campbell and of James Hillman's idea that within each of us resides the "acorn" of what we are destined to become. How better to explain the fascination Janovy's young students find in parasites too small to be seen without a microscope and too discounted to draw dollars for those who study them? Janovy celebrates his students' questions, sacrifices, and achievements. He must be a wonderful teacher! And this is a book that teachers will want to read, particularly those who seriously reflect on how it is that a student's interest gets captured. It isn't that Janovy has the answers. It's that he raises such interesting questions.
